Link to Keychron website for more info (and also a reference for the usual price): https://www.keychron.com/products...-keyboard?

FYI: the red option is for the mechanical gateron red switches, which are not hotswappable. Additionally, the hotswappable optical switches are only hotswappable with other keychron optical switches.

Potential key remapping software (no mention of the v5 being tested with this software so YMMV): https://www.reddit.com/r/Keychron...e/ilip5gx/

More info about resetting the keyboard after using that software above if necessary (without reflashing): https://www.reddit.com/r/Keychron...e/iaqnl7p/


Update:
At this point most of the variations have been sold out and its going to the used listings for the sold out ones.
Only the optical mints are still left at the original posted price here (as of this update).

Another update:

A bunch of the gateron mechanicals are also in stock still at 47.59: https://slickdeals.net/f/16799945-keychron-k1-tenkeyless-slim-hot-swappable-wireless-wired-gateron-mechanical-switches-keyboard-47-49-free-shipping

Amazon exclusive. Must be logged in. Reds are only a few $$ more but are a bad idea on such a short stroke anyway.

Buy the banana if you are normal person who loves lighter switch
Buy the mint if you are heavier hands

I need a new keyboard but not sure how I feel about the ultra slim. Do people actually use these for gaming? For some reason I equate slim to more of a work setup perhaps because most workplaces have them in the office.

For me, it's more ergonomic and less likely to develop chronic wrist pains, because I wouldn't have to bend my wrists as much compare to a thicker profile.

What's the difference between K1 and K5? Is K1 ten-keyless, and K5 full size? Is that the only difference? Somehow, I prefer full size for office use.

The gateron ones are not "hot-swappable" if that means anything to you.
Missed the optical ones. The only problem I have with the K1 is that it is at a very low angle, and there are no feet, so you have to buy some rubber pads or something like that to prop it up

Yeah, for me that is a feature. The flatter the keyboard the better for ergonomics (if you type by hovering your hands over the keyboard).

This ended up being a poor choice for me. The keyboard is fine but it does not support switching from wired to BT via key combination. If you want to use this keyboard with wired and BT, you have to manually move a switch. There's also a lag reconnecting to BT and BT suffers from severe ghosting and failed connections often.
